john mccain has a new fragrance out that can be sold exclusively at sears and roebuck, and lindsay, he just came running into the room and he said i endorse it, i endorse it. [laughter] you have to understand that we are dealing with a party whose hollywood symbol is pat sajak. there is not a lot of material we can go with here. speaking of hollywood, there these are these days a lot of talk about the academy awards. i have not seen all the nominees so it's hard to keep track of them. i just keep them straight. i'm told that django unchained is not a dramatization of ron paul's newsletters. [laughter] life of pi is not a biography of governor chris christie. [laughter] but one that i did see is about the iranian hostage crisis. it deals with a group of american subjects, americans subject to abuse mockery and a mass demonstration by a furious mob of radicals. the call it argot. john boehner calls a tuesday conference. [laughter] i hear we may soon have another movie star and wishing to d.c.. ashley judd is considering a run against her own mitch mcconnell for a senate seat in kentucky.
